Looking at the unconscious Li Jian, Su Qi felt helpless.
Because the evolved big guy was so huge that compared to going back up the Mysterious Passage to the Second Plane, they would have to take a long detour.
So after discussing, the group decided to exit directly from the Mysterious Passage’s exit connected to the Third Plane.
Distance was one factor, and another was that after evolution, no matter how you looked at it, the big guy’s style didn’t match the Second Plane.
Although Su Qi had never been to the Fourth Plane, from what her good brother Mo Yu, who had been to the Fourth Plane, described, the big guy’s current strength was estimated to be a minor boss even in the Fourth Plane.
Compared to the Second Plane with its thin spiritual energy, the big guy, after communicating, also said it could find a new home for the Purple Spirit Snake group in the Third Plane.
For these two reasons, Su Qi and her group walked out through the hidden exit of the Mysterious Passage.
Because they didn’t know where exactly outside the passage was in the Third Plane, coincidentally Su Qi saw a human, so she simply directed the big guy to go over and ask for directions.
But the situation now was…
This person turned out to be Li Jian, her former class 18 last-place classmate.
Now, due to the big guy’s arrival, he had been distracted and suffered a fatal blow, and was unconscious here.
As a former boy, Su Qi couldn’t help rubbing her thighs. That must hurt so much!
‘But should she put Li Jian on the big guy’s back too?’
Just as Su Qi was pondering,
“Big guy, it seems like there’s someone over there.”
As the scout, An Xiaoling’s watery green pupils looked at a patch of grass not far away.
As An Xiaoling’s sweet voice sounded, soon several hidden adventurers emerged from the green grass.
Seeing these people, Su Qi felt a sense of familiarity.
After a brief thought, Su Qi recalled where this familiarity came from.
It seemed that when she first joined the Cangyou Wildcat Team for her interview, it was this group of adventurers who came to rescue Li Jian.
As Su Qi recognized them, perhaps due to the popularity of Shuxi Bento in recent months, Su Qi’s appearance and unique aura were memorable.
The group of adventurers also recognized Su Qi standing on top of the big guy, and seeing this, they all heaved a huge sigh of relief.
After all, their team was just a B-level normal team, and facing Third Plane beasts was already a bit difficult for them.
Facing the evolved big guy, they felt even more powerless. If they had to rescue Li Jian, it would have been like taking food from a tiger’s mouth.
But now, seeing the close bond between the big guy and Su Qi, they could avoid a fierce battle.
“Are you Su Boss?”
“Wow, is this huge Purple Spirit Snake your spirit beast?”
“So Su Boss’s ability is beast taming talent? I’m so envious. If I could tame such a big guy, I’d be invincible in the Third Plane.”
Listening to the adventurers’ excited chatter as they approached, Su Qi didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
After all, her ability was Su Wife and had nothing to do with beast taming.
But after thinking it over, Su Qi nodded, tacitly confirming the adventurers’ guess.
‘After all, her Su Wife ability was too embarrassing to disclose. Now that she had a Little Red Pupil by her side, claiming beast taming ability might save her a lot of trouble!’
After a brief chat with the adventurers, she obtained approximate location coordinates for the Third Plane.
With a direction now, the big spirit snake vehicle quickly started moving again.
Bang bang bang~
Because the big guy had just evolved, it was huge and still excited.
Wherever it passed through the Third Plane forest, it was like a landslide, kicking up clouds of dust.
Due to the commotion, it attracted the attention of many adventurers along the way.
Su Qi originally wanted to tell the big guy to calm down, but after careful thought, she dismissed the idea.
After all, the big guy would later bring the Purple Spirit Snakes to live in the Third Plane.
Purple Spirit Snakes are herbivores and don’t actively attack humans.
Now, with her and the big guy appearing together, in a sense, it solidifies the beast taming relationship. And many people have seen this scene.
Before they return to the guild to explain the situation, the adventurers in the Third Plane probably won’t think of hunting the big guy!
With the big guy moving quickly, the journey that was originally estimated to take an hour was forcefully shortened to ten minutes.
When they arrived at the teleportation array set up by the Adventurers’ Guild,
“Roar~”
It seemed to realize that Su Qi and her group were about to leave.
The big guy pressed its head to the ground, looked at everyone, and let out a reluctant low roar.
“Ning~” “Xi~”
Seeming to sense the big guy’s sadness, Little Red Pupil and Su Xixi, seeing this, ran over to the big guy and chattered for a while, saying who knows what.
Soon the big guy’s sadness lessened somewhat.
Su Qi, watching everything, found the interaction among the three spirit beasts quite amazing.
How did one big and two little ones develop a sisterly bond like that!
“We’re leaving now, big guy. You live well, okay?”
After the three little cuties finished communicating, they waved goodbye to the big guy.
Su Qi, holding Su Xixi and Little Red Pupil on each side, entered the teleportation array with the girls.
Watching the pure white teleportation array gradually envelop her, feeling the weight different from when she came—now there was an extra Little Red Pupil besides Su Xixi. Su Qi’s mood couldn’t help but be complicated.
‘Ah… why does every time I come to the Saint Ruins, all sorts of bizarre things happen?!’
“Ning~?”
Seeming to notice Su Qi’s gaze, the obedient Little Red Pupil, now wrapped in a towel, blinked its adorable watery eyes at Su Qi.
Seeing this endearing gaze, soft face, and cute “ning ning” sounds~ Su Qi’s complicated mood relaxed a bit.
‘Emmmm… seems like having one more little one isn’t bad either!’
As Su Qi was sighing, a familiar dizzying sensation of the world spinning hit her.
As her feet touched solid ground, before Su Qi could see where they had returned to, perhaps because the adventurers who went to the Saint Ruins this time were of high rank.
There were the magical girl and saintess from the Hero Party, and A-rank Gu Wen Yin.
The Cangyou Wildcat Team was also somewhat famous. So many people disappearing all at once for three days naturally caught the Adventurers’ Guild’s attention.
As soon as Su Qi’s group successfully returned to reality, they were immediately spotted by the front desk mascot of the Adventurers’ Guild, Lu Ran.
Immediately, Lu Ran’s earnest admonishment echoed in the guild.
“How did you guys go for so long all of a sudden?”
“Normally, if you discover a situation and go three days without contact, you need to report in advance.”
“You’re all veteran adventurers. How could you make such a basic mistake?”
“We’ve sent out several groups of adventurers these past few days.”
“Huh, why is there a baby here?”
At first, Lu Ran was just going through the motions.
But as she spoke, when she saw the two little ones in Su Qi’s arms, she froze in place.
Lu Ran knew Su Xixi, as she had registered her as the front desk mascot.
But how could she bring back an extra baby from a trip to the Saint Ruins? You know, normally before adventurers teleport into the Saint Ruins, they are guided by staff… But before teleportation, there is a check.
There’s no way a baby could sneak in.
Then there’s probably only one explanation for the extra baby in Su Qi’s arms.
But the problem is… these girls are all very young, and their figures haven’t changed!
“Oh, you’re finally back.”
Just as front desk mascot Lu Ran was utterly puzzled by the towel-wrapped Little Red Pupil, a mature and steady male voice suddenly sounded from behind Lu Ran.
Watching the president walk over as usual, cigarette in mouth, a bit frivolous and a bit world-weary, as the front desk mascot, Lu Ran subconsciously began to tell him about Little Red Pupil.
After all, taking a baby to the Saint Ruins was, no matter how you looked at it, a very serious mistake.
The Saint Ruins environment was completely unsuitable for a baby’s growth.
But before Lu Ran could speak, the president Wu Qiong, seemingly hit by a nicotine craving, waved his hand at her to wait a moment.
Then he took a lighter from his pocket and turned his head to light up.
Pata~ Pata~
The cheap one-yuan lighter often had issues with flame cutting out or poor contact.
After three clicks, the flame only appeared for a second before disappearing.
Seeing this, the president frowned slightly and subconsciously asked Su Qi and her group.
“Who among you has a fire? Lend it to me.”
After asking, the president, his face full of weariness, realized that Su Qi’s group were all girls and probably didn’t smoke.
He thought he had asked the wrong person.
He was about to ask someone else, when his gaze inadvertently swept over Su Xixi and Little Red Pupil in Su Qi’s arms. Realizing something, Wu Qiong furrowed his brow.
Because Wu Qiong had also been an adventurer in his early years, he had some scars on his face.
This frown added a different kind of authority and presence to his usually frivolous demeanor.
As a well-behaved student, Su Qi, meeting the president for the first time, instinctively felt nervous.
Now seeing him frown at her, she felt the nervousness of a primary school student being called to the head teacher’s office for a mistake.
Su Xixi, who could understand human speech and felt Su Qi’s nervous trembling, looked at Little Red Pupil beside her.
In that moment of eye contact, the two little ones quickly communicated.
“Ning (Is this person bullying Mm?)”
“Xi (Seems like it. I just heard that bad guy asking for fire.)”
“Ning (Fire? Is it that kind? I have it too.)”
“Xi (Hehe, then give it to him good.)”
Unaware of the little ones’ conspiracy, Wu Qiong, looking at the cute pair of Xi and Ning, was originally approaching leisurely with his cigarette.
When he got a bit closer to Su Qi, Wu Qiong noticed that Little Red Pupil seemed to have two short, non-human horn-like protrusions on her head.
Seeing this, Wu Qiong lowered his head to get a closer look at Little Red Pupil, only to suddenly notice the towel-wrapped, exquisitely cute little one.
Her fair little cheeks puffed up, as if she was storing something inside.
Under Wu Qiong’s astonished gaze, the next second,
Whoosh~
The angry Little Red Pupil opened her cherry-like mouth.
A cute little fireball shot straight into Wu Qiong’s face. It completely burned away the unlit cigarette.
At the same time, it also singed off the middle-aged man’s remaining few strands of hair.
After doing all this, Little Red Pupil, who as a cub misunderstood that she was protecting Su Qi, proudly lifted her cute white face, spread her small wings from the towel, flew up to land on Su Qi’s shoulder, planted her hands on her slender waist, and stared back at the villain Wu Qiong.
And looking at Little Red Pupil’s small wings, recalling the fireball, the entire Adventurer’s Hall fell silent.
Then, Wu Qiong’s incredulous voice rang out.
“This… is this a dragon?”
